Hi to ALL blues men, blueswomen, blues players, learners, all havin’ the Blues!

For years I’ve wanted to get a Blues jam going in our Capital District. One where musicians just play, learn from each other, and improve their Blues “ear,” meet other musicians working (or playing!) toward Blues knowledge, mastery.

Unlike all the others I’ve tried, this is not an open mic,

a performance or a lesson...it’s a round robin where musicians get a chance to lead a song(s), show or share a little about it, its sources, and a chance for anyone in the circle to play along!

The focus is traditional ACOUSTIC blues forms and songs. Yep, there’s some overlap with Country, Jazz, Jug Band, Old Timey...‘after all, Blues is one of the foundations of American Popular Music. So that’s okay, as long as we keep to Blues forms and scales - you’ll know it when you hear it!
